Halo Reach Credit Farming - A Credit Farming Guide

Halo Reach Credits

This article is an article about the many different ways of farming halo reach credits or cr to spend at the armory or for many other reason. If you do not already understand this idea of the credit system used by Halo Reach please go look at my other hub- The Halo Reach Credit System

Now after I wrote that hub I realized the drastic need to find the best way to attain the most credits possible. Knowing that there are several different types of players out there I have drawn out a few different ways to farm halo reach credits depending on the type of player you are. I have written separate articles that may appeal differently to different players trying to accomplish different things.

As I mentioned in my other hub, the importance of farming credits, there are several different reason you might want to have as many halo reach credits as possible! One of the biggest being the idea that Bungie will release certain armor types or even certain items, games, maps, or anything of the sort for a limited amount of time that can only be purchased by credits. Another could be you are a goal oriented person and want to purchase out the entire armory of items to suit your player.

Scroll through the below articles and see if you can find the one that fits you best!

The Armory

Spending Credits at the Armory

The main reason you are here to farm credits is because you are interested in buying out your favorite items at the armory. The armory is a unique and bold addition to the Halo trilogy that allows you to customize your character.

Farming Halo Reach Credits the Right Way

Now this is going to be for those players who are not comfortable with earning mass amounts of credits by shooting there friend in the back of the head multiple times in a row for generating medals and credits. This is the way of farming that comes by with true skill and playing the game the right way. However, it might be the weakest of the three.

In my recent Halo Reach experiment I recorded the different amounts of credits I earned playing different game types and with different scores. I have come to one conclusion. You must finish the game and you must win. That's it. I played everything from Big Team Slayer to Arena Doubles and found that the best way to generate credits are by getting the Game Complete credits and the Performance credits ( only given to the winning team). So grab a friend or two who are of higher skill and go grind through matchmaking while having fun and still generating high credit amounts.

I would not advise Firefight due to the annoyance of dying from the ships and the small amount of credits you earn/time. I will say though that if someone could perfect a firefight map and get some friends who could grind through it really fast repetitively, that there might be a shot. Also avoid Campaign, unless you finish the entire thing, to where you will gain a huge bonus of credits.

Farming Halo Reach Credits the Fun Way

Not to say that the other ways are not FUN. Just saying that personally I have had more fun farming credits this way. Make a forged map, arena type, where there is only a circle and few spawns. Grab some friends, good or bad, and just have an all out brawl in the arena. Set a crazy kill count like 100 or something so the game last a good bit. Not only will you gain some considerable skill from this, but the medals and kills that rack up are insane.

For an extra boost in credits, get all of your friends to quit out of the game so that when it ends you get all of the slot machine credits.

Farming Halo Reach Credits the Fast Way

As mentioned before this is sort of a cheaper way to do things. However this is the fastest and most time productive. Fun? Probably not.

Forge a map that creates all of the spawning players to spawn in a line. Set the game type to unlimited ammo with Snipers. When the game starts get in a line with all of your hopeless,spawning buddies and light em up! You will get a crazy amount of medals and a crazy amount of kills that will lead to a crazy amount of credits. Also check out a guide by V1cious below on how to get some credits through campaign, it's pretty slick.

Now I am sure that there are a million different ways of farming credits that will surmount during the creation of this game. If you could get a modded controller to start and quit games you get an automatic bonus of 5 credits for even opening up a game! So anyway these are the few that I have tried and tested. Who knows if they will learn to control these ways and stop farming. Which then we will find new ways :) I will update this article weekly with new ways and updated versions of already posted ways of farming credits.

I found out that if you play campaign on higher difficulties, you can get LOTS of credits.

Normal: about 2000-3000

Heroic: about 3500-4500

Legendary: about 5000+

I haven't played campaign for a while so I'm sorry if these are incorrect.

if you do firefight you don't have to die. Just make it so you're invulnerable, there is unlimited ammo, you're just fighting elites and make the class rocket launcher and a sniper or something. That's how I levelled up a lot.

If we are using a never connected to live account (like people who can't afford to live or something like that)

Then there is no way to find them, because they leave no electronic evidence (i couldn't find another word for it).

So that means that there is no way to trace those people, unless you use some sort of tracing device (which i highly doubt you are). Besides, what's the damage of credit farming when that person ain't playing online, just offline? Yes, i play online sometimes, but then i use another account that i never uses for credit farming. So my point is, as long as we are using another account that will never be playing on xbox live, it can't hurt any other persons except our self, right?

i have a new way to get credits without online just go to forge world have you and a temporary character then put a respawn point anywhere you want then when you kill the temp he will respawn there just stand next to the respawn point after you kill him the first time and just keep holding the fire button on a machine gun ( or anything with out have to pull the trigger multiple times ) then just keep holding the fire button.... its that easy!!!!!!!! or for to get credits faster just put your weapon ammo to bottomless clip and put your damage up to 300% and use the focus rifle...

VERY GOOD WAY IF YOU ARE OFFLINE USER

Well a while ago i found out the way, that if you are an offline user (like me) (dial-up...) there is a way in custom game... it works up to 3 people.You can get 4000+ if you are Warrant Officer and if you have higher rank (Captain Major and up) it gets you more credits. So here how it goes:

Step 1.

Go on Custom Game set it up on Oddball

Step 2

In game options set up Score to win: Unlimited as well as time. Oddball options: Ball count (depends how many people are playing) 1-3 and Auto-pick up ball : Enabled (IT IS VERY IMPORTANT cause you might drop a ball just by putting down controller)

P.S you need Auto pick up cause if you drop the skull (ball) it happens sometimes you will pick it up automatically)

Step 3 Start the game

This method works 100 % and it's even better cause you can just pick up the ball and wait... ussually an hour is good enough (6000 seconds) which can give you 5000+ cR

So during this time you can just watch tv or some movie BUT DON'T FORGET LOOK FOR CONTROLLER EVERY 5-10min (offen is better) BECAUSE IT MIGHT DISCONECT and stop everybody from getting points.

By the way so far from using this method (PLUS forge and campigh co-op LEGENDARY) got me to Major grade 2 ,almost 3) So im getting 5940 credits for an hour...

TIP: you can get just certain ammount of credits... higher rank you are more credits you get so appx. Warrant officer: 4000-5000 cR

Captain : 4500-5500 cR

Major up to 6000 cR

REMEMBER higher rank you are more cR you get

This way is useful when you are watching tv or just playing outside or even when you have to do homework

so yah... don't worry your XBOX is not going to fry after an hour... or even after 10 an hour is perfect, cause i 6000 second and i got 5940cR than i tried on 7500 seconds and i got 5940cR... so every rank up it raises by couple hundred, hope i helped you :) Reply if this method helped thx

go into forge world and delete the initial spawn points then put 3 spawn points down. next take a kill ball and place its radiuos within the spawn points but make sure the center of the kill ball is not over the spawn points or it will say spawn blocked an spawn you at some random place.then walk into the kill ball then youl die and die. do this for about an hour and you will have a truck load of credz. :):):):):):):)):):)

Usually the longer you play the more credits you get. It helps if you have a wired controller handy. If you just turn firefight or something on and you find a nice corner ( aslong as you are invulnerable ) You get credits for doing nothing.

Simple strategy for me is to do a mix. I do Swat, Team Doubles, Rumble Pit, Score Attack, and Campaign. I did an hour of each and got:

2000 Credits Campaign

5000 Credits Swat

3000 Credits Team Doubles

5200 Credits Rumble Pit

7100 Credits Score Attack (Gruntocalypse.)

Thanx for the comments on each other, this helps. I didn't know the online play was that police state like. I have played offline for years and years and only little online. System Links is great indeed. At online play I don't care how my character looks, I'd keep him small and humble, and just make his colours like the main background in a level so they can't see me very well :) Credits in offline play is purely for unlocking cool stuff, voices and possible something else. Too bad they don't let you keep your points online, ah well, another reason not to be an online junkie :)

Or just get one of the kill a certain amount of enemies in any gametype challenge. Go to campaign and then get it to where you only need one kill to complete the challenge then save and quit. Then you change the difficulty to something other than what you have then change it to Normal. Now go to where you have your ethernet cable plug into your 360. Start the game, get a kill, it should say challenge complete then unplug your internet, press start then restart mission. When it starts the beginning clip press the guide button plug your internet back in and connect to xbox live. Skip the intro and get another kill and you should complete the challenge

AGAIN! i got 50k credits in about 15mins doing this cause my challenge was 2k everytime.

Just so you're aware, Greg, these methods are only really beneficial if you never plan to go online. The second you go online, it removes nearly all of your credits/ranking/armory items that you gained offline. Definitely excellent for the guys that just system link though. I did this a lot myself before going Live.

I spent several hours on the campaign mission ONI: Sword Base with the Target Locator. I gained a buttload of credits, but the ammount kept going down after every commendation I earned. After I got Onyx MAX on splash damage, I stopped gaining credits. This method only works for a short period of time.

Forge: 30 minutes = 4000 cR. Rate goes up when you let yourself stand there longer haha. Nice. Next up is an hour :)

Greg

Ok guys,

Feel a bit like a noob, just found out, that with no effort at all, you can just stand completely still in Forge, and you just get credits for zero movement or anything else. They give you credits for time I guess...

700 credits per 10 minutes,

1300 credits per 20 minutes,

It keeps on climbing at sort of the same rate. So forget any other (offline credit-farming tip of mine of anyone else) This is a million times better then the other ones. Remember, literally zero effort... Only need to push one button with only a hint of force behind it, and your screen won't go dark for another 10 minutes.

Noob out.

Greg

Another good one is making your spartan fast and strong, then on firefight - outlook, choose only elites as enemies and let them come to you when you're in the basement (enough space there) :) let them give a kick towards you and at that same time, circle around them to assassinate that nwo-president terrorist, great fun, great credits, do not need online play... so, another addition to my other 2 suggestions and to the rest of the farming community :)

one of the levels you get to use a target locator to signal rockets. put on all the skulls and put it on legendary, then you'll get to this chech point. hide between the wall, then throw both grenades on the teo sides of the wall to push the grumps in, then let all hell losse with the rockets! first few times you get something like 5000 credits then 2000, eventually all the multikill challenges will be over and you get like 300 credits every time. true farming! take 20 seconds for each time, and never run out of time.

yule.

Hey Everybody, ADDITION FARMING INSTRUCTIONS !

I spend some more days adjusting my settings to get optimal Credits within regular fire-fight without an internet connection/xbox-wife :)

The Covenant ship level is called Corvette for the name-freaks amoung you. With the Skirmishers-crop, I found out that reducing everything in your disadvantage, helps boosting your credit score (since you don't need a lot of abilities to point your needler).

I reduced: Shields, Loadouts, Equipment usage, Armor abilities, movement (all most all) etc. etc. and all skulls on off course.

The result for the Skirmischer-crop was:

10 minutes of auto-play = 500 Credits.

20 minutes of auto-play = 1000 Credits.

40 minutes of auto-play = 1750 Credits.

(Note: Sometimes if you jump in for a minute, you can make Killtaculars because they swarm around you when you are firing in to the wall for a second, and so, if you target them at that point, the splode in all directions which is funny and efficient).

I also played it with hands on steering and the result was DOUBLE these amounts, so you can switch modes of farming to keep yourself entertained.

In addition to this, I arranged all settings to handling the Brutes-crop, since their large, fleshy, attack in a line :) (hihi Penus) and can't really dogde very well. I got some nice results too and again, this keeps the boring feelings away.

Auto-play:

10 minutes = 250 - 500 Credits.

20 minutes = 500 - 1000 Credits.

40 minutes = 1000 - 1500 Credits.

(Note: Killing them yourself hands-on, again leads up to double the amount of Credits). I found out, having a Focus Laser Rifle Beam Thing next to your Needler with the Brutes comes in handy when for some reason, the stop attacking you for a bit :)(By the way, although the Needle Rifle is great and all, I think together with the Focus Rifle, they SUCK BALLS. I liked the Carbine & old Sniper a lot more. But that's off topic).

See you on the Fields Of Barley ! Cristal Child OUT !

ADDITIONAL CREDIT-FARMING TIP !!

GET CREDITS WITHOUT FIRING YOURSELF :)

Its true that when you mess around in firefight with things like Bottomless clip & Invulnerability, you don't get as much credits. That's to bad. But within a month this credit-farming thing has exploded haha. Well done everybody!

7. In the level, take position on the balcony on your far left when you come out of your 'Save Room' and face the doors where the covenant come out of. (That's near the enemies positions).

8. Stand with your back against de energy/door/wall and just let your crosshair focus on height of their heads.

9. Focus the crosshair on the middle of the balcony pad (area also called: Upper Level), but on head-height!

10. The Needler auto-focusses somewhat on enemies when firing and you are moved a bit when they shoot on you, but...

BASICALLY: You can put the remote down, turn off the sound, listen to some music or do your email :) and just watch the idiot Skirmischers run in front of your Needler haha. REMEMBER to watch some of the time and just correct your aiming a bit. Takes couple of seconds from time to time, like breathing :)

You can keep the sound on if that is the way you wanna check how your farming is going. I'm new at this, but it seems to work pretty well. Racking up to 500.000 points in an hour. You can play manually from time to time, if you get bored and kill them a bit faster if you are tempted.

THIS WAY IT IS A NICE ADDITION TO THE OTHER METHODES OF FARMING.

I like this one, because it really works with the nature of the game aspects itself. No internet required. Real farming. Since I'm new, I don't really know if Forge worlds are usable within Firefight. I believe they are. In that case, when I'm perfecting this methode, I will be racking up fast enough for me on credits with almost no effort or watching the screen.

You can even have your girlfriend or stupid litte brother correct your aim :)

Good luck, go farming.

A Noob.

what is the difference between free for all scoring and team scoring? and witch one gives you more credits

Kyd

8 years ago

Another way that's getting popular is the Flawless Cowboy/Demon Commendations. You can Youtube it but in a nutshell:

I did not discover this nor do I take any credit for it.

Scoring must be turned ON

Start Winter Contingency On Legendary(to get an Avatar award) or Heroic. Avoid combat through the level by running along the outside of the paths and fences until you reach the vehicles after the Elites. When I did this I almost never got shot, it's easy when you know how to avoid the enemies.

Once you get to where you are picked up by the Falcon, stay inside the building and use the DMR to pick off the grunts and Jackals (if there are any) and work your way to only having Elites left. Then, run around through the exit up the stairs and drop the AR for the Plasma Pistol. Charge the shot and hit an Elite, then switch to DMR (or if out of ammo use the magnum) and head shot them. Repeat until the Elites are dead.

Once you arrive where the Falcon drops you, run around the right of the enemies and just camp inside until the door closes (fix a sandwich or something to kill time). After the door closes go trigger the next cut scene.

Stay in the back of the room and try to pick off the Elite in the back with a DMR from the wall. The Elite is much better dead here otherwise you will have to kill him and the Sword Elite at the same time. Kill grunts and Jackals along the way and drop the AR for another Plasma Pistol.

At the end of the level, kill the grunts and use the same combo from before to kill the sword Elite. Walk over to the switch that triggers the ending cut scene for the level. When the screen goes black, wait a short period of time then press Start>Save and Quit (Must be before the black screen goes away).

Now, resume the Campaign and you will load a black screen with the "Skip" Scene prompt at the top. You will shortly go back to the campaign lobby with 200 Cr. Continue to hit Resume and you will continue to rake in the credits and you will gain more when they move up a tier.

When I credit farm I do the campaign one because it works for me the best. I got 37,980 credits in 61 minutes my first time and went up 8 ranks, in only 1 hour. It normaly takes me an hour to 2 invasion and I only get 1,000 per game.

Regular score attack is better than Gruntpocalypse, Gruntpocalypse is actually not that good, you might get 700 cRs when you beat the game, but I get 950-1100 cRs when playing regulaer score attack.

8 years ago

I know an easier way- time consuming but worth it

pick any mission, besides lone wolf

choose heroic or legendary difficulty

at the end the screen should turn black before the cutscene

while it's black save and quit

resume campaign

you should go to a black screen for abot 15seconds then you'll get 200 credits

resume again

black screen

credits

repeat

you get flawless cowboy every time

do it in legendary for carters avatar helmet- even if you died a lot

you get demon every time too

Hey guys,

In my opinion Gruntpolalypse is probably the best way to earn credits in Halo Reach. But my favourite way of earning credits is by completing the daily and weekly challenges. If you get through all the challenges in a day (1 or 2 hours matchmaking, and it's fun!) you can sometimes earn a massive amount of credits ~ 15k (including credits for playing the matches)

Hi, I would like to point out that there is a pretty good way in campaign to earn credits, depending on how high your commendations are...

Load up "ONI:sword base" put the scoring on team or FFA ( so you can see your killstreaks ) I've not noticed the credits increase due to skulls/difficulty I play on heroic. but you will defo want Cowbell skull on ( better/bigger explosions ) and thunderstorm ( upgrade all enemies )

run the right side of the map, up the ramp, past the elite, drop down to the grass on the ledge, folow the ledge and jump over the light, if you fall down fear not you can jus jump back up, keep filling the ledge round and it goes really wide and you can see the barricades, drop down and pick up the target locator, get damaged hide and get the checkpoint, now just keep owning all the enemies with the target locator over and over, once you do you will want to "Revert to last save" be carefull tho there is another checkpoint once you clear all of them.

If you get this right you will spawn hidden with your target locator again and again each time you revert to last save... This will work on the following commendations: splash damage,walking tank,leadership element, and if you turn thunderstorm on it will work on specops commendation. Also depending on how many enemies you are killing you can earn from 10-200 credits per 1 target locator use... That's each time you revert again and again. I won't be looking at this again I just thought I'd share how I was farming on my own with no help from other players. XBL GT - II V1CIOUS II

Jimbob, doesn't work, when you tinker with the options you only get minimal credits for the amount of time spent in firefight, not for medals etc

Any one tried putting invincibility on firefight and facing the crowd constantly, surely this would do it? Maybe just assassinating things?

Did you try score attack? Gruntpocalypse is HUGE on credits while being fun. The score attack sub category in matchmaking firefight is one player. Gruntpocalypse lasts 10 minutes but I'm pro at headshots in it now so I get it in 8 minutes. Only reason I can't go faster is I go for double kills and up to earn more credits. Also the skulls activated make them throw plasma grenades a lot and accurate. So when you start out, use armor lock or bunle shield. I don't get hit anymore so I use sprint. Also the commadations(or however it's spelled) are reall good in the start so you can get up to 5000 in a match.
